Carl Kammeyer's new single, "You," is a song that doesn't sound like it's trying too hard to impress anything except itself: honest and vulnerable. It is loaded with that uncommon sentimental gravity that draws you nearer with each verse. The melody is soft but mighty, the song that lingers inside your head long after it ends, a quiet hum in your memory, one you share only with the artist.
Recorded in the warm glow of his home studio, it's not so much heard as it is felt, and it's offered as a small token of love in our world right now. In the case of "You," Carl opens the door to his soul and ushers us in, pulls up a chair, and shares with us what it feels like to experience, face, and overcome an emotionally jarring personal conflict.

Carl does not obscure his meaning with pretense or metaphor. He writes with the clarity of a man who has lived life. Every line in "You" reads like a page in a handwritten letter meant for someone significant. It's raw but not unpolished, intimate in a way that can make you pause what you're doing to listen a little closer.
"You" is a transformation in a continuing musical journey that may lead to more of these offerings from the heart. Carl is forming emotional experiences, one tune at a time. In a culture that flows and often seems elsewhere, "You" is a gentle request to stop, feel, and connect.
